Maxine Grossman

Maxine Grossman is a Writer, Actor, and Comedian from Toronto, Canada. She graduated from Ryerson University's RTA School of Media in 2018, writing and acting all through the four-year program - which she completed in three, along with the coveted RTA in LA program. She then wrapped up her education with a development internship at Fabrik Entertainment in Los Angeles. In recent years, two of her scripts placed as Quarterfinalists in the ScreenCraft TV Pilot Competition (2021), she was a selection for the Women on Screen Web Series Incubator (2019) and FEM Script Lab (2019), and was a finalist for the Magee TV Diverse Screenwriters Award (2018 & 2019). Maxine also performs stand-up comedy around Toronto at venues like Second City, Absolute Comedy, Comedy Bar, The Rivoli, and more. Her work is inspired by the likes of Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, Anna Konkle, Maya Erskine, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge - female writer/performers who are both empowered and empowering through their comedic work. Humor, Maxine has recently found out, is also the most universal of languages. Her girlfriend is from Brazil and her parents don't speak much English. There are endless communication barriers. Laughter isn't one of them. She currently works as Executive Assistant to the President, TV - Canada and SVP Physical Production at eOne.
